"Sparkly stories with lots of gentle humour." -- Red Reading Hub "The outstanding feature of this series of books is that very few books for children of this age combine highly readable tone and a feisty young character of colour." * IBBY * "Ideal for newly independent readers to increase their confidence, each page is illustrated with characterful black-and-white illustrations that bring the stories to life." * Book Trust - Books We Love * "Suitable for early readers moving onto chapter books...sweet, simple stories...Punctuated by beautiful black and white drawings." * Children's Books Ireland * "Lolo is back with four new adventures as she learns about facing disappointment, dealing with body image issues, finding out her mom's new boyfriend isn't as bad as she expected, and conservation and recycling. Filled with charming black-and-white illustrations, this beautiful addition to the slice-of-life series can stand alone." * School Library Journal *
